Dr. Oz just ramped up his self-funded ad buy to $2 million. We need to fight back.
Breaking news, John — Dr. Oz just increased his already massive self-funded TV ad buy to $2 MILLION. 🤯
John said it best when we announced Dr. Oz’s initial (still self-funded) $1.2 million ad buy:
This is a pivotal moment for our campaign, John. I *truly* believe that how we respond to this could make or break us.
And with the news that Dr. Oz is funneling even more of his own money in to try and buy Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat, this couldn’t be more true.
So, John, can you make a donation of $5 — or whatever you can afford — to our campaign to send John to the U.S. Senate and protect our Democratic majority? We need all hands on deck if we’re going to stop Dr. Oz’s self-funded ads from drowning out our people-powered progressive vision.
Fight Back: Donate $5
Let’s blow Dr. Oz out of the water with our grassroots power. 💪
Thanks, John.

John,
Not even two days after launching his campaign, Dr. Oz just booked $1.2 million (at least) in TV ads to try to buy this Senate seat. With a reported net worth of $100 million, Oz can spend virtually unlimited sums to keep Pennsylvania Red. 🔴
This is a pivotal moment for our campaign, John. I *truly* believe that how we respond to this could make or break us. We’ve got two options:
- We either stand by while this celeb pseudoscientist buys his way into the U.S. Senate — where he’ll have an even bigger stage to push right-wing policies and COVID conspiracies.
- OR -
- We raise up a grassroots army so freaking big that we can match him dollar-for-dollar, flip PA blue, and send a true Pennsylvania fighter for working people to the Senate.
What do you say, John? Can I get you to donate $5 now to help us fight back against this $1.2 million TV ad onslaught from Dr. Oz? Every bit helps.

The biggest mistake we could make right now is underestimating Dr. Oz.
Yes, he’s a celebrity doctor.
Yes, he’s spent the last decade profiting off of provably false obscure medical theories and conspiracies.
Yeah, his home isn’t even in Pennsylvania … it’s in New Jersey.
But, we know another rich celebrity that the politicians and pundits underestimated. His name is Donald Trump and he won Pennsylvania in 2016.
With enough money and fame to buy his way to the top, Dr. Oz is a serious threat to win not only the Republican nomination, but the whole damn thing.
The good news is we have been preparing for this very moment. We have — by far — the biggest grassroots campaign in the state. And if we all come together right now, we can out-fundraise, out-organize, and out-campaign Dr. Oz just by the sheer force of our numbers. That’s why I’m asking you right now…
Please make a $5 donation to help us fight Dr. Oz’s six-figure TV ad onslaught. Whether you can give $5 or $50 or $500, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that we all do it together.
Oz is a big threat. But he’s no match for our movement. 💪💪💪
Let’s win this thing,
John
